Royce Sadie Nursing Bra 819 Reviews

I bought this item because it is so hard to find a good comfortable nursing bra that is supportive enough for someone with large breasts and an active job. This bra did take some getting used to and had to be sent back for a different size. The sizing is a lot different than US sizing. However, I did really like the fit and the comfort.

The size seems to run a bit small. However, my main complaint with this bra is that there is no "sling," just a thin strap holding the cup when it is unclipped.

Royce Response: Hi Amanda, Thanks for your feedback. All our nursing bras feature retainer straps as opposed to an A-frame ‘sling’ as this means our cups can drop down fully to prevent any restriction to the delicate milk ducts and glands as the breast changes throughout the day.

Pretty bra, but it did seem to run a little small in the cup even compared to the royce charlotte style. The fit is close enough that I am keeping the bra. (The charlotte is my favorite nursing bra beating out Anita and my Freyas) Adrea from FL, USA

I ordered this bra because it looked very comfortable and some other reviews talked about the great fit and comfort. However, I thought the material was not soft or comfortable at all and I too had fit issues. I was measured by a professional prior to ordering this bra and I could not even snap the bra closed! I ordered other bras in the same size that fit great. I was also disappointed because the grey design was very prominent in person and it was not portrayed this way in the photo on the website. I am sending this bra back for a refund!

Royce Response: Hi Meaghen, thanks for your feedback and we’re sorry to hear you are not happy with our Sadie bra. USA sizes and British sizes are different after D cup so it’s imperative to make sure your size is correct for a British bra. This does often cause confusion and could be the reason you have not found the perfect fit with Sadie. We would suggest you try a larger band size and you should find the whole bra, including the fabric, much more comfortable. It is incredibly unusual for people to find our fabrics uncomfortable and this could be the cause for your discomfort.

As for the ‘grey design’ you mentioned, what you are seeing is the X-STATIC® fibre made with 99% pure silver and which is 100% natural. This can be a difficult feature to show through product photographs but offers so many benefits such as being anti-bacterial, anti-odour, static reducing and thermo-regulating to help regulate your body temperature and therefore keeping you more comfortable.

This is the most comfortable bra I have found so far! It is important to read all the information about brand sizing before you buy- but given that, this bra is a great fit. I wish it would magically clean itself overnight so that I could wear it every day! Lea from Fairmount, Ga, USA

This was a very cute bra however i felt it didn't give as much support as i would have liked once the cup was released to allow nursing. The only piece giving support to the side of your breast is a very thin bit of elastic. And when you are as large as a K cup you really need the support! Also i had checked the sizing charts and was measured by a professional before i ordered but the bra was unfortunately to small. I have just mailed this bra back for a refund.

Royce Response: Hi Carrie, thanks for your feedback. The piece of elastic you mention is called a retainer strap, and is designed to keep the shoulder strap in place (rather than support the breast) whilst the cup is open. With regard to the cup sizing – please be aware that our products are based on UK sizing, which may explain the difference in fit. Hope that helps. Carrie from Torrey, Utah, USA

Quality of this seemed fine, but it seems to run EXTREMELY SMALL. I can't speak to the fit of the cups because the band was so crazy small I couldn't even get it on. Had to return. =(

Royce Response: As Royce products are all non-wired, our designers have to source and select great quality, firm fabrics for our bras – as these fabrics are necessary to do the job that an underwire would do in a wired bra. This can sometimes result in a bra feeling a little tight and fitting a little differently to a wired bra – it can take some getting used to! .ips from Minneapolis, MN, USA

Fit great if you like your boobs in your armpits! I hated this bra.

Royce Response: If you are used to wired bras, it can be difficult to adjust to the varying fit of non-wired bras. We would advise you to adjust your straps accordingly and continue to wear the style for a few days to get used to the different styling. M from MI

ran super super small. I couldn't even get the back clasped. It looks like a great bra, but I couldn't even get it on to see.... I chose not to exchange it for a different size as I found another I liked even more. courtney from Kentucky

I was amazed to find a bra in this size. the huge downfall is that the sides of the bra go all the way up into my arm pits. it was rubbing way too much and way to uncomfortable I sent it back. and id prefer a wire.

Royce Response: Dear Whitney, thank you for your comments. The nature of non-wired bras mean there tends to be a little more coverage than you would get from a wired bra. This is because the fabrics and components need to do the job the wire would normally do. I would suggest that if you are finding the 819 bra uncomfortable, perhaps you could try our Royce Charlotte Nursing bra 822 which is cut slightly lower under the arm. This is available to buy from HerRoom.com. Good luck! whitney from ohio

Finally a bra that fits! I am 6months pregnant and it has taken me the whole 6 months to find a good fitting yet comfy bra! I have ordered several bras from many web sites and exchanged etc etc...I am so happy to have something I can actually keep and wear! I will be buying more from this brand! Thank you :) Nicole from CA

Not what I expected at all. From the picture. The "silver/gray" dots are way more prominent then they appear online. The shape of the cups are funny. However the fit was good. I measured according to the sites recommendations. I am returning because of the appearance of both the actual garment and how it made my breasts look underneath a t-shirt. Not because of fit.

This bra is way too small. I ordered all my nursing bras in the same size- all the rest fit well but this one might not have fit my pre-pregnancy size. Definitely order a larger size than you think you need. MaineBeth from Fairfield, ME

Had a difficult time finding a nursing bra that fits because of my small frame, but large breasts. This was perfect...very comfortable. Katie from New York
